SDC375 Sonic Drilling Rig (Bespoke)
The Sonic SDC375 sonic drilling rig boasts a small footprint which allows it to operate in areas of limited space as well as fit within a standard shipping container for easy transportation. The machine is capable of continuously sampling to 300 feet with a 4 x 6 core/case system.
Sonic drilling boasts many advantages over conventional drilling including being faster, requiring less drilling fluid, continuous high quality coring and greatly reduced hole deviation. The Sonic SDC375 was Dando’s first step into the sonic drilling market and was built in collaboration with Sonic Drill- the market leader for the sonic drilling rig industry and lead innovator in sonic drilling technology.
Please note that the Sonic SDC375 is a bespoke product and is not offered as part of the standard Dando drilling rig range.
